Known Problems and Workarounds
For HP CIFS Server A.02.02.01
The following is a list of known problems and, where possible, the
appropriate workarounds for the HP CIFS Server A.02.02.01:
Problem Share mode security does not work with POSIX ACLs.
Workaround Microsoft servers do not support share mode security and Windows NT
ACLs. No workaround currently exists.
Problem CIFS clients cannot delete open files. Related Bug: CIFS clients cannot
delete hard links to open files while the file remains open.
Workaround Delete files and hard links after files are closed.
Problem The smbstatus utility and SWAT status screen do not display any
information before a client connects to the CIFS Server.
Workaround Connect to the CIFS Server before using the smbstatus utility and SWAT
status screen.
Problem Matching single characters in file names from the DOS prompt on a
shared CIFS Server drive using wild card operations and multi-byte
character sets does not always work (for example, using Japanese
Shift-JIS and ???? matches two multi-byte characters instead of four
multi-byte characters).
Workaround Use ?? for each single character. For example, if you are trying to match 4
characters, you must use 8 wild cards, ????????.
Problem After changing the domain of HP CIFS Server, the user takes a long time
to logon.
Workaround Delete the .tdb files in /var/opt/samba/locks.
Problem Concurrent access of the same file from Windows Terminal Services and
UNIX may cause file corruption even if share mode locking is enabled.
